DK During the cruise, the Dis- bursing Division, headed by DKI WARD, played a vital role aboard KING by providing what KINGSMEN call the finest dis- bursing service in the Pacific. In addition to accurately main- taining over 400 play records and running regular paydays, the division provided special pay prior to entering, and dur- ing KING's visits to, major foreign ports. These services were provided while contin- ually having to update transient records and overcoming added work loads created by the na- tional wage-price free ze and the 1971 and 1972 wage in- creases. These increases helped push the payroll total to over three-quarters of a mil- lion dollars for the cruise.

The increasing d e m a n d s of modern naval warfare equip- ment on the line created the need for a highly proficient Supply Department. KING's Supply Department played a vi- tal part in enabling her to meet all her commitments in an out- standing manner. LCDR.

Inspired by the excellent leadership of SKCS MILNER, the storekeepers worked quietly in the back- ground obtaining the replace- ment part s and everyday ne- cessities to keep the operating departments in business. Allo- cating over 33l65,000 of OPTAR and managing the inventory of over 25,500 different repair parts was the heart of the IU 'thi gym It operations. With schedule changes the rule and supply support remote, the SK's proved to be masters of the un- usual methods of locating parts and services. Whether it was paint in the Gulf of Tonkin, oil in the Bay of Bengal, flower arrangements in Wellington, or marijuana-detecting dogs in Subic, the Stores Division came through. The SK's rightly feel they contributed to putting KING on the First Team.
